Hi D-Block,
Most of the information we used in class today can be found by following the links in the link section. I've also added a time-line which will help keep the major events of the war straight in your head. This is a complicated time period to study, so it is important to refer back to the blog often and make sure you are keeping up.
I've been reading your connections that you handed in today and there is clearly some great thinking going on in this class. I wanted to share a few of them, I wont share the author's names.
"Judging by looking at the pictures given it seems as though...the city was interested in what the army was doing and crowded the streets to see them like the crowds of people seeing the olympic flame today"
"How people were so used to seeing the army walking through their city, where now if the military walked through richmond it would scare everyone."
"When there was a war in Canada almost everyone gathered around as a community to look at the soldiers. These days, when there is a war, Canada doesn't really gather around in big groups of hundreds, we just go on with our own lives without really being together as a community"
A few of you are still stuck in the "note-making" mind frame, remember simply making notes from text doesn't help us learn, only memorize, we learn when we make connections. If you are having trouble taking this step start with comparing life then and now, it will help you make the T-S and T-W connections.
As always I am happy to answer any questions or concerns you have!
Tomorrow is Friday, see you in class
